What A Wild Ride Indeed..

I cannot begin to describe just how much I enjoy reading so many blogs regarding college graduation and future plans. I have so many friends anxiously awaiting graduation within the next few weeks, and so many that don't know where their lives will take them. I was in that very same situation last year, and guess what?!

I'm still sitting in that same situation one full year later! I have news friends: the more you think you know, the more you find out that you really don't know at all! My heart goes out to each and every one of you, b/c I've been through every single emotion that you're going through now! Honestly, I would like to forget the last year of my life. Graduating in May with so many "unknowns" was huge to me. I love to plan. If I could have every minute of every day planned, I would. And I used to try and "plan" my future. Gosh, at one time, I had planned out my life until around the age of 30 or so. Haha. I have to laugh at that one. Because guess what? I fly by the seat of my pants in everything that I do now, and I don't plan anything. I try, really hard to plan things actually. And guess what?! They don't work out. Never have, never will.

And I'm afraid I have news, it doesn't get any better. I love love love Birmingham, I love my job, I love my friends, and I love my family, and lately..that's all that I know. And I'm afraid that's all that I will ever know. I know that He has great plans for my life, and that I have to trust Him daily, b/c every single day is different.

And this my friends, will shock you all: I make appointments daily (on the job of course), and I cannot even describe to you the amount of people that don't keep their appointments. That want to re-schedule(which is totally fine, by the way), or..that just don't show up. It absolutely amazes me on a daily basis. So even with tremendous amounts of planning, sometimes those "scheduled" plans don't work out either. Business or not.

For my life plans: well, I currently have none. I know what I did today, I know that I have an appointment scheduled out of town tomorrow, but I don't know if that appointment will follow through, or if I will be sitting at home again tomorrow. I have quite a fear for the unknown, but I'm learning to embrace it daily. It's hard, and I don't like it..not one bit. But I'm afraid that their isn't enough planning that I can do to prepare for it. Good luck to all of you college graduates! It's a fun and exciting, yet a very scary time for all of you...learn to embrace it!
